Circumferential periosteal release in the treatment of children with leg-length inequality.

Periosteal division and longitudinal growth in the tibia of the rat.

Growth at the proximal tibial epiphyseal plate of the rat has been measured following three different growth-stimulating procedures. These were proximal periosteal release, distal periosteal release and full periosteal stripping of the diaphysis. A new radiographic method using a photographic technique has made it possible to take accurate measurements of the rate of long-bone growth in small e...

A Continuum Model For Stone-wales Defected Carbon Nanotubes

In this paper, a continuum model is proposed so that a Stone-Wales (SW) defected carbon nanotube (CNT) is replaced by an initial circumferential crack in a continuum cylindrical shell. For this purpose, the critical energy release rate and then the fracture toughness of a defected CNT are calculated using the results of an existing atomistic-based continuum finite element simulation. Finally, t...

Minimal Invasive Technique for Correction of Bowlegs in Children

Clinical, experimental and histopathological studies were done on sixteen patients and four rabbits. Clinical material includes sixteen patients with bowlegs deformity, their ages ranged between 2 7 years and experimental material includes four rabbits each of them 5 weeks of age. Hemicircumferential periosteal release was done on rabbits (only one leg and the other leg is a control one) after ...

Anatomic and functional leg-length inequality: A review and recommendation for clinical decision-making. Part II, the functional or unloaded leg-length asymmetry

BACKGROUND Part II of this review examines the functional "short leg" or unloaded leg length alignment asymmetry, including the relationship between an anatomic and functional leg-length inequality. Based on the reviewed evidence, an outline for clinical decision making regarding functional and anatomic leg-length inequality will be provided. METHODS Online databases: Medline, CINAHL and Mant...
